Solution

Legislative proposals means proposals involving or relating to the entire process of making laws and implementing them.

The ideas for legislative proposals comes from daily experiences of politicians and civilians, who face a difficulty in their walk of life regarding a certain issue or an aspect of life. For example in India there is a legislative proposal of introducing Goods and Services Tax (GST) on a national level. Currently every state in the country charges their own VAT (value added tax) and the rate differs for different states. This creates extra work for businessmen and corporations in terms of paperwork, filing of VAT returns. Having a national level single GST will simplify the process of doing business.

This legislative proposal took shape in an ideating seminar between politicians and business houses. The practicality of abolishing state level VAT was lucrative enough to announce this legislation.

Member of Parliament interacts with people of their constituancy on a regular basis to understand their problems and to understand how their lives can be improved and simplified. Legislative proposal\'s ideas germinate from this process as well.

Executive communication is a message sent to the Senate by the President or other executive branch official. Executive communication can be used by the president to stop the enactment of a legislation by using his veto powers. A legislative proposal needs two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. This will override the veto by the President.
